Morning Sun

“You stood your ground, now the ground has shifted
Thought you’d lost your way, but the fog has lifted
Faced the darkest nights, now the time has come
to reclaim your soul, and face the sun…”

Between You and Me

Posted on March 6, 2016 by Maggie C

I’m so thankful for the screen on the window.
I don’t want you invading my living space.
I know you’re part of the ecosystem and all that,
but truth be told, you really creep me out.

I mean, really creep me out.
As in, whenever I see one of you
I just want to squish you, even if
you are doing me no harm whatsoever.

But I guess I should be more magnanimous than that.
Live and let live, you know?
After all, it was you who planted the corn
that I’m going to nibble on for breakfast.

Here’s hopping that you don’t find your way
through the screen today.

Leap

Posted on February 29, 2016 by Maggie C

Leap over obstacles
that stand between you and
the fulfillment of your dreams.

Leap away from those
who prey upon your soul,
depleting your spirit of joy.

Leap into challenges
that strengthen your character and
hone your ability for resilience.

Leap for joy
or love
or peace
or delight

Leap simply
because you can.
